8 Great Airport Lounges Around the World Slideshow

The undisputed king of airport lounges must be the Virgin Atlantic Lounge at London’s Heathrow airport. It is enormous and caters to every type of traveler. Hate to miss afternoon tea? Head to the quiet viewing area for classic English tea time with mini sandwiches, teacakes, and scones. Feeling competitive after fighting for your right to use that arm rest? Why not play a game of pool or try your hand at some vintage arcade games? They serve a full menu of dishes from breakfast to dessert and a full spa menu at Cowshed, which offers you a place to unwind and shower after a long day of flying.

How to get in: You have to have an upper class seat on a flight, be a Virgin Flying Club Gold member, or purchase lounge access as an add-on to a Virgin Vacation.
